TO r. NJ. DAVIS. LISBON, OAK.
Minor. Oak, Dec H. 1SS4.-Dear Sir:
Your bill of Sl35 remains unpaid. A few
days since wrote you letter, but on pur-
pose addressed it to your wife. L expected
YOU would take that letter sfrom the Office,
read it and destroy it. You very likely did
SO. That was merely q warning. The next
one wrote after this one will get there. as
sure you. if have TO carry it myself. You
and Hughes have both played me for sucker
and l will admit succeeded very well so far,
but the table will change. You will pay me
for my services, and soon, too, or will wage
you such an aggressive warfare that you will
wish you had needed my warning. 1 mean
business, and / think you know me well
enough to know better than TO dare me on.
II you for one moment knew of the plot I
have in view you would settle with me at
once and have everything go CT smoothly
rather than to wage Inc warfare
which cannot but end some one
in the penitentiary. Furthermore. this
is the last appeal I make to you by let
ter. At my earliest opportunity l shall begin
proceedings that will break up your family
and end on in the penitentiury. l gave all
order on J. J. Hughes and told the man that
he did not know what I meant by it. as he
never owed NE anything. As 1 told you be-
fore, shall hold you responsible for Hughes
bill.
Bill for services rendered you -. 49,. $75 90
Bill for services rendered H.......... 60 90
Making total of..........s l35 90
As soon rs / can Start for Lisbon mean to
do so, and the first thing do after my ar
rival there will be TO GO directly TO your wife
and deliver little bit of news, but in the
meantime 1 shall prepare her for its recep-
ton by sending her Il letter by sure mes
senger.
l considered you my friend and man, !
but you have done me one of the dirtiest
tricks that could be conceived Of But by the
powers of the eternal oil! you shall right
it or 1 will be avengeu! ! l have been
at you now for more than two months,
and if tins thing is carried a
little too far TO suit you, - you will
have no one to blame but yourself Thus
far have received only S15 and have paid out
more than that in expenses.
The next letter your wife receives from me
will not be so easily explained by you as the
first one was. Perhaps she will not be as
willing for you 10 pay other ladies' bills as
her own y!
have said enough!
IwIll never appeal TO you again by letter
l cannot any longer consider you my
friend
Pay me or look to your laurels
Without fear or favor-I am
Determined to the death =! -
TO MISS HIGHLAND.
